Gulfstream - today?

[shanahan]

well, the figs were fantastic - particulary helpful were the sire figs in the laste raae which pays for th eDel Mar rental, thanks for great TG figs....I am certain the analysis did not have it...find out tomorrow on red board.

lesson learned over the last 12 months - analyze yourself the TG figs.

Don\'t have to wait. Didn\'t have it. Good hit.

The horse had some really good angles.  Using the BRIS PPs from Cindy Pierson Dulay\'s site the breeding showed AWD of 8.3 for the sire & 8.5 for the dam\'s sire. So on January 30th, a month after a mile workout he puts him in a 5f turf race-obviously not a race for his breeding and he was fractious and had a poor start.  Plesa also has a much better record 2nd out than 1st and he had a good post position.
Good job sniffing this one out, not only did he have some good things going for him but the crowd got on Chad Brown\'s first time starter when Brown is 1 for 27 with first time starters going a turf route at Gulfstream Park the past 5 years. Where did they think they were, Saratoga?  Meanwhile Pletcher who is 22% for the same data that Brown is now 1/28 completes the $199 exacta.
I didn\'t buy the Thorographs today, which may have cost me the FOY, so I had nothing going into the race but \"settled\" for the win & exacta bets.  I\'ll redboard it tomorrow to see if I have to kick myself.
